My children attend other schools in the S W Herts consortium, and have friends at Parmiter's. It is a good school, and suits those looking for partially selective co-ed state education, but I would suggest visiting it before applying, to see if it is a good fit for your child.

If you are hoping for an academic or music place to start Year 7 in September 2017, then the procedure is similar for any school in the S W Herts consortium; register online for the aptitude tests in May 2016, sit the tests in September 2016, receive scores in October 2016 then submit application before 31 October.
